Steny Hoyer: Democrats Won’t Seat NC’s Mark Harris

The Washington Post reports:

Incoming House Majority Leader Steny H. Hoyer said Friday that Democrats next week will not seat a North Carolina Republican amid allegations of election fraud in the state’s 9th Congressional District.

“Given the now well-documented election fraud that took place in NC-09, Democrats would object to any attempt by [Mark] Harris to be seated on January 3,” Hoyer said in a statement to The Washington Post.

“In this instance, the integrity of our democratic process outweighs concerns about the seat being vacant at the start of the new Congress.”
